I'm interested in getting a developer's manual to Configure, so as to
set up some software to take advantage of the settings...
 
I looked on prep.ai.mit.edu, but nothing jumped out at me -- ideas?
 
Jack.

You want to look for the autoconf distribution, which includes a
texinfo manual.  The latest version I know of is 1.5, which has a bug
with TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME (which will be fixed in the next release, if
said release hasn't already appeared).

The package is called metaconfig, it uses the macro-processor m4.
Download the gnu version of m4 'cause Sun's one is buggy.
